<p>For example, you might have a data object that needs to be formatted according to the locale before
displaying it to the user. You can pass expressions through a chain of filters like this:</p>

<pre><code>    name | uppercase
</code></pre>

<p>The expression evaluator simply passes the value of name to
<a href="api/ng.filter:uppercase"><code>uppercase filter</code></a>.</p>
